You’ve given up hopes that your old, dust-collecting comic book collection will make your grandchild a millionaire one day and just want to cash out and move on. The problem is you don’t know how much any of them are worth, who will be willing to take them off your hands or how much work it will take to unload them at a fair price.

If you’ve got some stuff that you think is too valuable to give away but don’t want to go through the effort of a garage sale or selling it online, consignment is a route worth considering. By giving a cut of your sales to a retailer who stocks and sells your items, you can make money off your inventory with little effort.

Despite what those Nigerian fellas would have you believe, the road to making money online doesn’t come with easy windfalls. Like any other potential cash source, you must choose your spots wisely and spend your resources efficiently to wring some extra pocket money from your endeavors.
